Dearborn's Most Trusted Legal Counsel for Divorce and Spousal Support Cases

More times than not, in Michigan, alimony is referred to as spousal support. Many individuals seeking a divorce are unaware as to what alimony is or how it is determined. Alimony or spousal support needs to be taken into consideration early on so you can plan for it financially. There is no specific mathematical formula to determine whether or not spousal support should be awarded or how much is to be awarded. Neither is there a set length of time support ought to be awarded. Instead, the judge regards the unique factors of the case and assigns an amount to the case. Michigan judges take several factors into consideration when determining how much support to award to either spouse, which include:

The past relations and conduct of the parties

Length of the marriage

Ability of the parties to work and pay alimony

Source and amount of the property awarded to the parties

Age of both parties

Present situations

Needs of the parties

Health

Prior standard of living of both spouses

General principles of equity

Don't Be Caught by Surprise with Spousal Support

Even if spousal support is awarded to one party, it can be modified. This means that if one party experiences a change in circumstances the support award may change to reflect this. A skilled Michigan divorce attorney can discuss your legal rights and inform you in ways of protecting you and your family's future.
